Craig Booton, director of Redsun Developments, said: “This is another major milestone achieved for this development, which will result in substantial investment and secure an important high-value employer in the local area. We are bringing Senate Business Park back to life, having lain derelict and empty for many years, so we can’t wait to see construction work underway in the coming months.”

Greg Summers, director, Domino UK, said: “Domino have invested heavily in development and operational infrastructure to satisfy the need for a broader range of products and increased capacity. This development is paramount to Domino’s growth plans in the UK. To be able to do this in close proximity to the current facility, with our skilled and loyal workforce, and with the support and help of the local council, underpins how important it is to all of us.”

John Wilson, managing director, Eric Wright Construction, said: “We’re well versed at delivering major manufacturing projects both within timescale and budget and as a member of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, we will work hard to maintain our high standards both on and around site.”
